    A Year ‘Round College Calendar: Advantages and Impediments Bill Number: Hearing Date: March 9, 2004, 9:30 am Location: SD-430 Witness: Dr. Michael Lomax New Orleans, Louisiana President, Dillard University Testimony Testimony of Dr. Michael L. Lomax President, Dillard University On behalf of The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Before the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions U.S. Senate Hearing on a Year-Round College Calendar March 9, 2004 Good morning Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee. I appear before you today on behalf of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). UNCF is America’s oldest and most successful black higher education assistance organization, representing 39, private, four-year historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). UNCF has been committed to increasing and improving access to college for African Americans since 1944. The organization remains steadfast in its commitment to enroll, nurture, and graduate students, some of whom do not have the social and educational advantages of other college bound populations. Combined, we enroll over 59,000 students in primarily liberal arts institutions, many of whom go on to earn graduate and professional degrees at America’s most prestigious universities. I am pleased to share with you today UNCF’s viewpoints about year-round college, and particularly how such an academic calendar might benefit UNCF students. It is important, as we begin this discussion, for you to understand something about our students. UNCF students come from a variety of family and economic backgrounds. However, more than 60 percent of all UNCF students come from families with incomes below $25,000 (compared with 16 percent of students attending four-year colleges nationwide), while 84 percent are from families with incomes below $50,000 (compared to 26 percent of students attending four-year colleges nationwide).

The civil rights era inaugurated by Thurgood j^ Marshall and other champions of justice was marked by the \u25a0 passage of landmark legislation banning discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and the voting booth. Thanks to this watershed period of progress in our Congressman Alan Wheat nation's recent past, an unprecedented number of Black Americans are now beginning to realize economic security. Yetrecent events have shown us that we cannot take these gains for granted. Although a vibrant and growing Black middle-class willcontinue to make headway in the 19905, a dismaying portion of our population faces a bleak future as a result of governmental indifference and neglect during the last ten years. An increasingly hostile Supreme Court has begun to chip away at the legal underpinnings of our nation's antibias safety net and the current Administration has shown itself willingto play racial politics withlegislative safeguards against discrimination. In the face of these new obstacles to progress, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is rising to the challenge of developing strategies to address the inequities that continue to confront modern society and to create new opportunities for an increasingly diverse Black American population.

  • An Examination of the Organizational Culture of a Basic
    AN EXAMINATION OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF A BASIC UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES PROGRAM: A CASE STUDY by JARED ANTONIO RUSSELL (Under the direction of JEPKORIR ROSE CHEPYATOR-THOMSON) ABSTRACT Basic undergraduate physical activities programs play a vital role in providing undergraduates with an opportunity to develop sport related skills and healthy lifestyle habits. The effective instructional ability of the graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) who instruct a significant percentage of courses is critical to students’ possession of lifetime skills. The instructional ability of GTAs largely depends on the organizational culture of the program. A program’s organizational culture greatly impacts the socialization and development of its members in relation to their organizational duties and responsibilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of the organizational culture of a Research I institution’s basic undergraduate physical activities program (BUPAP) from the viewpoint of graduate teaching assistants and administrators. For the purpose of this research, both qualitative and quantitative research methods and analyses were utilized. Data collection methods included: a) semistructured interviews with GTAs and administrators, b) document analysis, and c) field observations. A survey was administered to GTAs to obtain quantitative data regarding their perspectives on various aspects of the BUPAP’s organizational culture. William Tierney’s (1991) organizational culture framework was used to guide the study. The framework has six areas: a) leadership, b) information, c) socialization, d) environment, e) mission, and f) strategy. According to the findings of the study, the BUPAP did not take an active role in the training, development and supervision of GTAs who were instructors.
